    I was speaking to a guy at a shop with the same sensor problem as myself. and he was telling me his insurance company covered 2 tows a year. anybody else have something similar. because mine will tow the truck in the event of an accident but that's about it.

    Yes - Northland and Great West both have Towing for breakdown on there policies. One of them calls it the Choice Plan and the other calls it the Deluxe plan ( can't remember which is which. Great West charged an additional $144 however it also covered several other things as well. Northland charged $262 for there plan that was very similar. It also included $1000 coverage for theft of drivers property and travel expenses and a few other things as well.

    I have towing ins via my truck policy with OOIDA and I've used a few times. Glad I have it because it's very nominal cost

    It just depends on the policy you buy.

    Well yeah, duh! My policy is just your reg normal truck ins policy. Plain vanilla. So I decide to add a towing rider.
    nothing complicated about that. My choice nobody else's. If you don't think its necessary then don't buy it.
